Humans now choose to vegitate in virtual reality as a new technology originally developed to help win the war now allows them to seperate their consciousness between vr and control droids that do the physical work.
Orphaned teenager Michelle lives with a neglectful borderline abusive foster dad Ted while she waits for the next opportunity to run away.
When a sentient robot called Cosmo tracks Michelle down the pair go on the run in an effort to find Michelle's long lost and thought dead younger brother Christopher, teaming up along the way with former soldier now turned smuggler Keats.
Think that's roughly the plot of this super budget adaptation of a graphic novel I'd never heard of and know nothing about.
Perhaps it's the lack of awareness of the source material but I really enjoyed this film.
It looks fantastic and has a lot of great ideas and fun characters. Voice work is excellent, Woody Harrelsons Mr Peanut being a standout. There's great world building going on here and while I accept that is surely more to do with the source material I think this movie is great and seems to be unfairly getting dismissed.

Sadly that's the way it is now a days everything is just dismissed it just seems to be the trendy thing these days to be negative about everything be it films games or music my favorite is people slating things and then saying I'd never listen/watch/play that garbage forming opinions based on nothing what a world we live in.
